Home » Manchester City Extend Dominance with 2-0 Win Over Leicester

Manchester City continued their dominance against newly promoted teams with a convincing 2-0 victory over Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium. This marked their 13th consecutive Premier League win against such opposition, and it lifted them into the top four.

Fast Start for City

Fresh from their FA Cup triumph over Bournemouth, City wasted no time in taking control. Just two minutes into the game, Jérémy Doku intercepted the ball in midfield and quickly found Savinho. The winger delivered a perfect cross to Jack Grealish, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner. This was Grealish’s first Premier League goal since December 2023.

Leicester’s Missed Opportunity

Leicester had a rare chance to equalize through Bilal El Khannouss. However, his effort from the edge of the box went just wide. That miss proved costly, as City soon doubled their lead.

Marmoush Seals the Win

On the half-hour mark, Omar Marmoush, filling in for the injured Erling Haaland, capitalized on a mistake by Leicester’s goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen. The Egyptian forward fired a powerful shot off the crossbar and into an empty net. This was his fifth first-half league goal since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt.

City in Control

Despite dominating possession, City struggled to create clear-cut chances in the second half. Only one shot on target was recorded after the break. However, securing the three points was the priority for Pep Guardiola’s men. The match also saw Oscar Bobb return from a long-term injury, adding to the team’s positive night.

Leicester’s Struggles Continue

Leicester’s woes deepened as they suffered their seventh consecutive Premier League defeat without scoring. This unwanted record keeps them in the relegation zone, making survival increasingly difficult.

With this win, Manchester City regained momentum in their title challenge, while Leicester’s fight to avoid the drop looks more daunting than ever.
